Do you have to convert flac files to another format before burning to cd's that will play on any cd player? If so, best method? When burning mp3's to cd my Roxio automatically converts to proper format.

Thanks

voss, you need convert the files FLAC for another format before burning the CD. Then Roxio makes the remaining. Below you have the link for download of FLAC

[flac.sourceforge.net]

if you wanna burn flac files directly to cd without converting, there are more programs available.
for instance:
burn
supports burning from FLAC out of the box.

Depends on your burning software, latest nero does it, no probs. VLC & Winamp also play flac files as is.

Flac is just a lossless compression archive file, similar to zip or rar, in that there is a wav file INSIDE the flac,when you de-compress a flac you get exactly what you put in.

Hi Vox12string or anybody,

I have downloaded azureus and the Internet download manager and now I don't know what to do with them. I have Nero and it doesn't automatically work to burn the flac files for a stones show I've already downloaded. I went to a site to download some Nero plug-ins, and I couldn't. Can anybody help me?

Hi voss,

I use and i suggest the free version of Switch, you can concert easily FLAC to 8 or 10 formats and you pick the bit rate!

I am not looking to convert flac to mp3. Thanks anyway! I just want to burn a cd from flac files I already have downloaded. Nero won't work and I don't know how to download the plug-ins. Can somebody please help me?

try this

allow nero burning rom to burn a variety of formats to audio disc

another possible problem: where to extract the plugins?
nero changes this from time to time, but normally is should be:

C:\Program Files\Common Files\Ahead\AudioPlugins

I use a program called SWITCH on my Mac. Very easy to get and very easy to use.

I generally covert FLAC to MP3 320 or AIFF for burning to CD.

Some people get very hyped about the lossless nature of FLAC. The problem is most of the bootlegs on here are rough enough that I'm not sure there is much of an audible difference between most formats. But it's all enjoyable.
